Obvs I’m watching La Traviata at the big house but I wish I was with you salt of the earth chaps, watching the rugger

Nah. BPA and Mafi are behind Kaitu’u.
Not on yesterday’s effort. Or any game they’ve played in the previous two years.

Hmm didn’t watch yesterday’s game did you?
Kaitu’u was dominant. Robertson struggled with Tupou and Medrana struggled with whoever the reds 1 was. Kaitu’u threw straight (BPA didnt), scrummager as well as BPA and owned BPA in loose play.

Ha ha. You ruined my joke cvnt

I was going to say La Traviata is my name for the MiL

Poor young Izzie Parese, struggling to remember the prefabbed lines about working on his mental health to parrot in the post match interview. I hope they keep him on the right road.

In the scrum BPA is stronger. I don’t think they’d be anyone that disagree with that after yesterday’s game.

Once again, I think you’d have a stroke if you were made aware of how many of your rugby heroes have tried coke. You keep bringing it up, but it all it does is further prove how old and out of touch you are.

I should rephrase. The reds were destroyed at the line out. Part of that was picking no locks. But BPA and Mafi need to take some responsibility. Kaitu’u beat both in open play. Happy to hand the scrum to the reds.
The line out and the scrum are team efforts for which the hooker play a part, albeit important.

And you keep showing your ignorance of the facts that-

1) The NRL/Broncos sacked him because he was charged with drug offences in Qld. Not even the Qld police could cover it up.

2). He played three games in France, and ended up in hospital after an overdose last November. It was in le figaro and the south-west major dailies in France, but didn't really make the news here. They dried him out, cancelled his visa and put him on the next plane to Australia.

This is not like someone indulging in some recreational nose candy. I'd guesstimate about 66% of the population of Sydney less than 50 have done that without going into sales.

They need to employ a minder to sit on him and make sure he doesn't slip.

Just watching the replay now

How good is Foketi. Not elite sure, but probably the best player in that team after Gordon.

Wrong school though. But awesome nonetheless

Posted: **Sat Apr 24, 2021 3:18 pm**

Good stuff Rebels, I thought they played a pretty controlled game of code.

Isi's sending off was bullshit I thought. Fvck me, a guy ducks into a tackle and you get a red? Lucky its only 20 in this comp because that is fvcking farcical.

The Avengers are as big as Star Wars - all kicked off by Iron Man, who’s played by Robert Downey Jr, who also went through a rough patch.

See the pattern?

So you admit it was not farsical and as the Rebels got up and the ref clearly did the right thing as per the World Rugby directives and so you are complaining about what exactly?

He played test rugby. He’s solid af.
But I predict he will be another of the good Australian opensides that struggles to crack 10 tests.

Western Australian too - 40% of Oz teams have a WA openside.

60%

Hardwick, Tizzano and Koteka.

How good was Perese’s in the lead up to the Marky Mark try?

Posted: **Sun Apr 25, 2021 1:56 am**

Wowee, might be time to track down my old Perese posts from like eight years ago. Jet.

He then threw a couple of handbags that did not connect. We might not be seeing Isi for a little while.

It was a lazy tackle by Isi, first contact(shoulder-upper arm) to the head and with considerable force. Red all day long at the moment.

He's incredibly limited. Should be way down the pecking order. Does good work at the breakdown against tired teams though, much better value off the bench.

He had a bit about him back in the day. Added a bit of physicality (maybe loig?). Hopefully he keeps it all together.

Posted: **Sun Apr 25, 2021 2:10 am**

Hardwick is a bloke you could really use in a battle at the coal face. I wouldn’t say hes limited but he does seem to have a fairly high error rate. Great team man. Hes strong, like Poey, and reminds me of him in his very early career.
A bloke that is way underrated is Wells. He gets through a mountain of work on both sides of the ledger and in the lineout.

Posted: **Sun Apr 25, 2021 2:23 am**

Tell you who's actually underrated, Brad Wilkin. Proper footy player, much better than Hardwick.

I didn't think it was a red because the guy ducked into it.

Welcome back

Are you aware you’ve created a phenomenon?

Dumbledoring.

Yeah, poor old Towny’s got it bad. It must be exhausting for him trying to keep up with all the players he’s Dumbledored. Australia currently has at least 4 centres and 3 fullbacks who are the best since Dally Messenger.

Trying to fit them in the team is the issue now.

Damn autocorrect.
I might call Perese Peter from now

Isi looked pretty fired up from the whistle. We will miss him, for sure. When he plays well, he is the best #8 in our ranks.

This. I rate Brad Wilkin very highly. Rebels have a lot of good back rowers and the loss of Naisarani isn't won't affect them much.

Rob Leota
Brad Wilkin
Michael Wells
Josh Kemeny
Richard Hardwick

Ross Haylett-Petty is not a bad option at 6 either.

How often has he played this season? I repeat: when he plays well, he is our best #8. When he doesn't play well, he isn't.

He played plenty of games last year and wasn't great to be honest. He was probably out of form but I agree he's a good player just hasn't been in great form over a year now.

Naisirani has been on the field for about 60 minutes this season. For those 60 minutes he was very good.

As you said, when he isn't on the field he doesn't play particularly well.
